RE:RE:That "worthless" DML mill

RE:RE:That "worthless" DML millThanks for a great recap for the mill. That's the kind of info I like. 




Thanks for providing that info, sim_1.  What constantly gets overlooked is that there are 4 components to the Value of the McClean Lake Mill in Denison's overall NAV.

1.  The standalone assessed value of the Mill - Denison owns 22.5% of the world's most advanced Uranium mill valued at over $1B, able to process the highest grade ores in the world.

2.  The Toll Milling Income - which has only just started now that Cameco is ramping up Cigar Lake production, estimated to be $9M per year by the end of 2016.

3.  The 25% of Production Capacity - which is available under the agreement with  Cigar Lake JV, allowing the McClean Lake JV to process their own deposits at McClean Lake and the Midwest Project that has been approved by the Saskatchewan Govt.  Under the arrangement, the McClean Lake JV pays no Toll Milling fees so production is "at cost" which provides the highest profit level for that 6M lbs/year capacity that they own.   When U prices do rise to US$65/lb then that 6M lbs/year represents US$390M/year in gross U3O8 production sales. 

4.  Strategic value of McClean Lake JV's 25% Production Capacity - given that existing mill capacity on the Eastern Side of the Athabasca Basin is already committed, any new projects to be developed will need to build a new mill to process their ore, unless they acquire Denison and can gain access to that 6M lbs/year capacity at the McClean Lake Mill.

Raymond James, in their 7 July Analyst Report assigns a NAV of $214M to the mill.

This is not a recommendation to approve the proposed merger... just ensuring that facts are presented to shareholders, not myths.
